The Art of Approximation
Translation is all
from Japanese to Hungarian
from Icelandic to Navajo
from bark to miaow
from day to diary
from body language to words
from sheet to music
from vision to canvas
from you to me
and me to you
all shall be vice versa
here are my poems
they are original
but we are not fluent in each other
I speak me and you speak you
so I have translated them
knowing that languages
can only ever co-exist
it takes merely a second
to discover that
only the non-verbal is universal.
